		<description>I&#039;ve made a few custom banners, but would really like to learn more about it. Thanks for all of the links!

I use Gimp (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gimp.org/)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.gimp.org/)&lt;/a&gt; to create custom banners. It&#039;s similar to Photoshop, but with fewer features.  Oh, and it&#039;s free.  You can find a lot of Gimp tutorials online, but you can also figure out a lot of stuff using Photoshop tutorials.</description>

		<description>I want to make a custom header image but I don&#039;t own photoshop. Is there any free software that I can use to make a custom image for a header.</description>

		<description>Thanks for this answer with all these links. I have been blogging for nearly a year, and have yet to create a customised banner or button.

I am really enjoying your podcasts with Shannon too - very informative in an easy to understand way!

However I am now VERY aware of my commenting  - is it relevant, polite, not to long,no spelling mistakes, grammatically correct, am I contributing something positive to the blogging experience?.....thanks for pointing me the right direction!</description>
